In the Fall 2006 issue of Crochet me, there was a crochet-along to make a Sweet sweater. I really wanted to participate, but I had to finish my afghan first, and then I needed to give my wrist a break from crochet for a while, so I bought some yarn but didn’t get started. Now the official Sweet crochet-along is […]
There were times when I thought I’d never reach this point, but my 63 squares afghan is finally complete! It all came together really well, and I’m really pleased with the finished piece. Final dimensions are 2.00m x 1.55m (79″ x 61″) and it weighs 2.1kg (4.3lb). It’s so large I’m having difficulty getting a good picture! Here is […]
Yes! There is a light at the end of the crocheted afghan tunnel… I haven’t been blogging each square, as I always crochet them in the evening and then it’s too dark to take a photo when I finish. But I only have SIX squares left now (plus all the joining). Today I tried laying them […]
My 63 squares afghan is progressing… I’ve added the navy border to 19 squares, and have another 16 squares waiting for their navy border to be added: Status: 35/63 squares (56%) completed
I’ve fixed the edgings on all my old squares now, so I’m back to crocheting new squares for my afghan. Tonight I’ve made square #37 (if the colour looks funny, blame the lamp in my living room; it’s a nice purple really): Status: 29/63 squares (46%) completed
I am, in theory, crocheting the 63 squares afghan, although the 26 squares I have completed have been sitting in a box for almost 2 years without being touched. Last week I found the Crochetville 63 Squares Crochet-Along, and now I’ve been inspired to get started again. I crocheted one new square, and started a second, and […]
This is my entry to the September Whiplash contest. The challenge was to make any kind of hat. I got the inspiration for my hat from my cat, Maui: I crocheted the cat hat in single crochet from black chenille with cream chenille accents. After reading the tapestry crochet post on whipup a few weeks ago, I’ve […]
Walmart and Michaels are both having excellent clearance sales on yarn this week. I picked up this lot for $10! I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it all yet – I’m thinking some kind of crochet amigurumi soft toys for the brown fluffy yarn. I’ve started making a scarf with the purple […]
